๐ฎ๐ถ Michael Knights | Just a mindmap of indications: yellow is CF/Iran-backed PMF, and red is Sadrist. Green shading is ISF primacy, kinda. Lots of attempted maneuver today: Sadrists to the palace, then fell back, and Sadrists trying to breach Jadriya. CF militia arrayed for all-round defense.
The route between Sadr City and Tahrir and northern IZ is not exactly clear of CF militias but nor is it hard for Sadrists to force and keep open. If Sadrists went hard for CF, Palestine St and the eastern edge of Sadr City might be early clearance targets. Tough fighting.
Interesting to see Sadrists potentially moving on Jadriya and Karrada - that would be a good way to clear a dangerous CF launchpad away from the IZ, and open a clear way for southern reinforcements. Northern belts are the CF reinforcement route. Hard for Sadr to close them.

They hiked prices +50% across the board for vienna tenants over the past 6 months. youd think an energy supplier under socialist control wouldnt fuck one of the biggest red voting bases in the country that hard, but here we are
The following will inevitably happen:
>the municipality bails them out
>the federal government bails them out
Also, if I have them understood correctly, wien energie (an energy provider, gas and electric, possibly district heating depending on location), buy from OMV, which is itself owned by gazprom (majority).
The state buys from itself
OMV is the (now improperly termed) "รถsterreichische mineralstoff verwaltung" or "austrian minerals bureau"

โ ๐ด ZeroHedge | Deadly Clashes In Tripoli May Signal Imminent Libyan Civil War | August 28, 2022
"At least 23 people have been killed and 87 injured in Tripoli as tensions between rival political groups erupted into street combat on Saturday. The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire. U.S. ambassador Richard Norland urged rival parties to agree to an early date for elections, and to reduce tensions "before things get worse."
Though Libya has been a disaster ever since Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama teamed up with NATO to facilitate regime change in 2011, the last two years have been relatively calm. That calm ended Saturday as combatants fired small arms, heavy machine guns, mortars and other heavy weapons. Explosions occurred in various sectors of Tripoli -- the country's capital -- and smoke drifted across the skyline.
Two groups are contending for rule over Libya: The Government of National Unity (GNU), which is led by Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, and a rival group led by Fathi Bashagha, the former interior minister. Bashagha has the support of Libya's eastern parliament, which is based in Tobruk. In essence, this is a battle of two rival prime ministers and two rival governments."

๐ซ๐ท๐ฏ A BLACK OPS UNIT TO HUNT FRENCH DISSIDENTS?
๐๐ป Rybar media reports on a case with potentially major consequences for French politics.
๐ The media was able to interview a (former?) member of the CPIS, the DGSE's clandestine unit in charge of illegal/immoral operations abroad.
โถ๏ธ The soldier reveals that for at least the last few months, the unit's missions have been on French soil and consist of surveillance and harassment of political opponents.
โถ๏ธ He explains, among other things, that the CPIS is responsible for burglary, assault or damage to property of specific individuals, making it look like routine, non-targeted crime.
โถ๏ธ In fact, these operations are particularly targeted. They do not seem to be aimed at well-known or media personalities, but rather at little-known but very active activists who could become key elements of the populist or revolt movements of the coming months.
โถ๏ธ The soldier cites targets in at least two movements: LFI (far left) and E&R (far right anti-Zionists).
โ๐ป These two movements are among the first to oppose Macron and mobilise many people, including former "Yellow Vests".
๐คจ The fear of French intelligence is probably that these movements and their activists will serve as an embryo for a future populist anti-Macron, anti-EU and anti-NATO movement, fuel by the inflation caused by COVID-19 policy, sanctions against Russia and green policies.
๐ Rybar's information could not be verified at the moment but France has a very long history of similar actions, so it seems credible.
๐ด๐ป What is surprising is that these black operations on French soil are conducted by the DGSE and its elite unit. Normally, such operations are conducted by the DGSI and the police.
๐ฐIt would be interesting for French journalists to look into the matter and investigate.

๐บ ๐ณ๐ด The worldโs largest fertilizer company Yara, based in Norway, had announced a 50 percent cut to its ammonia-based urea and nitrogen fertilizer production in Europe, citing โrecord high prices.โ
โFew people realize that carbon dioxide is a byproduct of fertilizer making. And it cannot be stored for a very long time, so we only have a few daysโ worth of reserves left,โ said Carlsberg Polska spokesperson Beata Ptaszyลska-Jedynak.
Fertilizer is not only vital for boosting crop soil fertility, but its production creates a byproduct, CO2 gas, which is used to add fizz to beer and soft drinks, supply hospitals for surgical procedures and allow animals to be slaughtered humanely.
Carlsberg Polska, the third largest brewing company in Poland and subsidiary of the Danish multinational, told POLITICO it plans to stop beer production almost immediately โ and that other brewers are bound to follow suit.
โWe will be shutting down beer production any moment now โฆ but we arenโt the only ones. Unless they have facilities to produce their own CO2, most beer companies will have to do the same.โ

The rampant elements threaten the stability of supplies.
"The effect on the market depends on the amount of damage caused, but since the United States has become the largest supplier of LNG and petroleum products to Europe, the potential consequences can be significant," the Center for Energy Development said in a statement.
Experts recalled that a strong hurricane, similar to last year's Ida, could cause a failure of the shipment of liquefied natural gas from terminals in the Gulf of Mexico. Then LNG supplies to the world market will be reduced by about 300 million cubic meters per day.

๐จ๐ณ ๐ป๐ช Chinese defense firm has taken over lifting Venezuelan oil for debt offset
China has entrusted a defense-focused state firm to ship millions of barrels of Venezuelan oil despite U.S. sanctions, part of a deal to offset Caracas' billions of dollars of debt to Beijing, according to three sources and tanker tracking data.
China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) stopped carrying Venezuelan oil in August 2019 after Washington tightened sanctions on the South American exporter. But it continued to find its way to China via traders who rebranded the fuel as Malaysian, Reuters has reported.
Since November 2020 China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp (CASIC) has been carrying Venezuelan crude on three tankers it acquired that year from PetroChina, CNPC's listed vehicle, the sources said. The oil is stored on a tank farm it also took over from PetroChina, the sources said.
The three CASIC tankers load in Venezuela with their transponders active, allowing third-party tracking, Eikon data showed.
The firm has far taken 13 cargoes carrying a total of about 25 million barrels of oil, including two vessels due to arrive in China in September, according to the loading schedules of Venezuelan state oil firm PDVSA, and tanker tracking data from Refinitiv and Vortexa Analytics.

On Such interview, the now-leader of Fratelli d'Italia/Brothers of Italy (Far-Right | National-Conservative) appearing praising Benito Mussolini, the late Italian Prime Minister who led Italy during World War II:
โ โI think he was a good politician.
Everything he did, he did it for Italy.

Been seeing debates everywhere on the topic of student debt.
The universal prussian-style education today for tech jobs is only possible in a high growth global economic system, which is now coming to an end. A deglobalized western world might replace the school system with something else entirely.
We've come to accept shoving the youngest demographic into a building for twenty years to be yelled at by childless cat lady teachers that hate children as the norm. It didn't accomplish very much in the end anyways, college was just a scam to catch unsuspecting teens making risky financial decisions to be swept up into a debt trap.
That's not guaranteed with proper planning. Now, those types of students are no longer enrolling in higher education in the first place. In 2035, the youth will be applying themselves hands on, more so than consuming the glut of fluff information. Save for, basic science/maths. Most, if not all of the special niches we see today cease to exist along with the global system.

๐ฏ๐ตโฉ๐ โ Same Logic applies for Japan, although, in the case of Japan, the idea of a "Cultural Shinto" rather than something like a "Practicing Shinto", similar to the shift between the so-called "Cultural Christians" and "Faithful Christians" in the "West", is quite pervasive in the Japanese society.
Also, Demographic breakdowns always tend to cause radical changes, socially speaking.
Take, for example, the demographic decline that occurred at the end of the Edo Period (which some might argue was one of the reasons that it collapsed, but it's a topic for another time) and period of internal instability at the beginning of Imperial Japan (Meiji Era)
As de-globalization is pushed around the world, it is expected that trends seen by our much-loved "progressive friends" as 'reactionary' will become the norm and eventually birth rates and a return to social models taken today as "outdated" returns as a solution.
After all, history is a cycle forced to repeat itself, not a line that just moves forward.

๐บ๐ธ The transformer shortage is the outcome of the "green" transition towards constructing EV charging stations en masse. They're trying to rush EVs even before the domestic refurbishment for transformer production to solve current energy needs is solved.ย
This comes at a time when the US is in an unfinished process of reshoring manufacturing facilities back to North America in general. Sizable figures of skilled labor are also heading into retirement due to demographic aging. These are the two most common hiccups in the American supply chain today.ย
Keep in mind that another common supply issue during the pandemic occurred because of the rapidly changing requirements for vaccination. Whether dock workers and Men in shipping refused the jab and retired or became victims of circumstance by impossible to adapt to vaccine requirements on a country by country basis.

๐ท๐บ Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Thursday to increase the size of Russia's armed forces from 1.9 million to 2.04 million as the war in Ukraine enters its seventh month.
The increase includes a 137,000 boost in the number of combat personnel to 1.15 million. It comes into effect on Jan 1, according to the decree published on the government's legislative portal.
The last time Putin fixed the size of the Russian army was in November 2017, when the number of combat personnel was set at 1.01 million from a total armed forces headcount, including non-combatants, of 1.9 million
According to an authoritative annual report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russia had 900,000 active service personnel at the start of this year, and reserves of 2 million people with service within the past five years.

๐บ๐ธ Anonymous: US requisitioned old stuff to ship off. Then giving their own guys new stuff. The same applies to all the Warsaw pact stockpiles they bought from eastern NATO, then sent to Ukraine, Warsaw pact stockpiles soon to be replaced with US/NATO stuff. Another interesting thing is that even if they could take away some stuff from the military, federal agencies have all of those same weapons including predator drones that they'd defer to the military if need be.
The Ukraine War is mostly a Scrap and Tech refresh program for the Military Industrial Complex. The US, Korea, Germany and Sweden are all partaking in this. US dumps money into buying out old cold war stock from core allies to dish out new MIC orders, especially within NATO. Basically giving poland a check to buy German or Swede gear in exchange sending x to Ukraine. Weapon printer go burrrrrrr. We can only imagine the pain and suffering the Russians are inflicting on an economy whose largest product comes from being a global arms dealer. And is currently selling weapons mx packages to everyone in exchange for cutting out consumer base of the worlds second arms dealer.
US strategy for decades has been to create infinite demands to spin up military based manufacturing to keep the lines open. Big reason you see people whining about the US buying tanks the army doesn't want or need. Because a line closing means it's way more expensive to restart than just buying a few every year. Also the reason why good gear constantly and wastefully, disposed of. Because they keep the orders slow but unending so it's there when it needs to spin back up. Basically, they're buying enough to keep it profitable to not shut down manufacturing lines or fire the skilled labor.

๐บ๐ธ Report: Industry has to face reality that commercial satellites will be targets in war
Experts have labeled the Ukraine conflict the first commercial space war due to the extensive use of private-sector satellites for imagery and for communications, with companies like SpaceX and Viasat becoming targets of electronic and cyber attacks.
Commercial satellites have crossed the Rubicon and companies need to figure out how they will cope with the prospect of intentional or accidental attacks during international conflicts, says a new report by Aerospace Corp.ย ย
Typically only companies that provide direct services to the U.S. military would consider security issues to be relevant to day-to-day commercial operations, but that is changing, the report says.
โIn crises and conflicts, commercial space actors risk getting caught in the middle of a tense and escalatory environment,โ writes Robin Dickey, space policy and strategy analyst at Aerospaceโs Center for Space Policy and Strategy,
An attack could occur โeither because a commercial system is misidentified as a military system or because that commercial system is suspected of acting aggressively or threateningly,โ the report says

As part of his probation, Paul Pelosi will also be required to attend a three-month drinking driver class, and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver has to provide a breath sample before the engine will start. He will also have to pay nearly $7,000 in fines, the judge said.

๐ช๐บ ๐ฝ European Corn Yields Expected To Plunge Amid Worst Drought In 500 Years
Besides the news of record high electricity prices, a troubling new crop failure report about Europe's upcoming harvest was published Monday. The bloc's Monitoring Agricultural Resources forecasted corn yields could drop by nearly a fifth due to a devastating drought, according toย Bloomberg.
The plunge in corn output could result in further food inflation. It will boost feed costs for livestock herds, adding to even more woes for farmers who are plagued with elevated diesel and fertilizer prices.
"Water and heat stress periods partly coincided with the sensitive flowering stage and grain filling," according to the crop monitoring report. "This resulted in irreversibly lost yield potential."
In late August, about half ofย Europe is under a drought warning. Crops, power plants, industry, and fish populations have been devastated by the heat and lack of rainfall. The European Commission Joint Research Centre warned earlier this month the ongoing drought is the worst in 500 years as vast amounts of farmland turn to dust.ย
Heading into the fall, western and central Europe face a very high risk of dry conditions over the next three months that could result in water shortages.ย
Increasing crop failures because of drought will only exacerbate the food crisis due to Ukrainian disruptions. Supermarket prices for meat in the EU jumped 12% in July versus a year earlier. Milk, cheese, and eggs are also skyrocketing at record rates.ย
This leaves us with the idea that inflation in Europe will remain sticky, as explained by Germany's central bank chief Joachim Nagel: "The issue of inflation will not go away in 2023."ย ย

Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said โextremeโ volatility and lack of liquidity mean the futures market is increasingly disconnected from fundamentals and OPEC+ may be forced to cut production.
โThe paper and physical markets have become increasingly more disconnected,โ he said in response to written questions from Bloomberg News.ย
Prince Abdulaziz represents the largest oil producer in OPEC+ and is arguably the most important player in the 23-nation alliance. He said futures prices donโt reflect the underlying fundamentals of supply and demand, which may require the group to tighten production when it meets next month to consider output targets.
โWitnessing this recent harmful volatility disturb the basic functions of the market and undermine the stability of oil markets will only strengthen our resolve,โ he said.

๐จ๐ด๐ โ Colombia's new Left Wing Populist President Gustavo Petro, in his first major act, is set to decriminalize Cocaine countrywide!
Worth remembering:
โ Colombia is the producer of 43% of World's Cocaine production & the largest Cocaine supplier to United States
๐บ๐ธ๐น Washington Post | Colombia, largest cocaine supplier to U.S., considers decriminalizing | 20-08-22
โ "Colombia is the largest producer of cocaine in the world, the source of more than 90 percent of the drug seized in the United States. Itโs home to the largest Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) office overseas. And for decades, itโs been a key partner in Washingtonโs never-ending โwar on drugs.โ
Now, Colombia is calling for an end to that war. It wants instead to lead a global experiment: decriminalizing cocaine.
Two weeks after taking office, the countryโs first leftist government is proposing an end to โprohibitionโ and the start of a government-regulated cocaine market. Through legislation and alliances with other leftist governments in the region, officials in this South American nation hope to turn their country into a laboratory for drug decriminalization.
โIt is time for a new international convention that accepts that the war on drugs has failed,โ President Gustavo Petro said in his inaugural address this month.
Itโs a radical turn in this historically conservative country, one that could upend its long-standing โ and lucrative โ counternarcotics relationship with the United States. U.S. officials past and present are signaling concern; the drug was responsible for an estimated 25,000 overdose deaths in the United States last year"

๐จ๐ณ China drought causes Yangtze to dry up, sparking shortage of hydropower
Nationwide alert issued with south-west especially badly hit, as major companies forced to suspend work
The loss of water flow to Chinaโs extensive hydropower system has sparked a โgrave situationโ in Sichuan, which gets more than 80% of its energy from hydropower.
Last week Sichuan suspended or limited power supply to thousands of factories and rationed public electricity usage due to the shortage. Toyota, Foxconn and Tesla are among companies reported to have temporarily suspended operations at some plants over the last fortnight. On Sunday theย South China Morning Post (SCMP) reportedย plans to restart production this week had been postponed.
โกThe Yangtze is the worldโs third largest river, providing drinking water to more than 400 million Chinese people, and is the most vital waterway to Chinaโs economy. It is also crucial to the global supply chain, but this summer it has reached record-low water levels, with entire sections and dozens of tributaries drying up.ย Waterย flow on the Yangtzeโs main trunk is more than 50% below the average of the last five years. Shipping routes in the middle and lower sections have also closed, the SCMP reported.

๐บ๐ธ ๐ฒ๐ฝ The U.S. Department of State issued a travel advisory warning Americans not to travel to some areas of Mexico due to increased risk of crime and kidnappings. It also warned that the U.S. government wonโt be able to help Americans if they become victims of crime while traveling there.
โViolent crime โ such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery โ is widespread and common in Mexico,โ the advisory states. โThe U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico.โ
It also states that U.S. government employees are prohibited and/or restricted from traveling to certain areas in Mexico because many emergency services are limited. If they are already in certain Mexican states, theyโre prohibited from traveling to cities after dark and from hailing taxis on the street. They are only allowed to use dispatched vehicles, including app-based services like Uber, and regulated taxi stands. They are also advised to not travel alone, especially in remote areas.
U.S. government employees are also prohibited from driving from the U.S.-Mexico border to or from the interior parts of Mexico, the advisory states. The exception is daytime travel in Baja California and between Nogales and Hermosillo on Mexican Federal Highway 15D, and between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey on Highway 85D.
All Americans are advised to follow the same travel restrictions as U.S. government employees.
The advisory was issued after the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana, Mexico, instructed its employees โto shelter in place until further noticeโ after violence erupted on the streets Friday, Aug. 12. The Californian city of Mexicali and Tijuana, the Mexican border city just south of San Diego, California, as well as Rosarito and Ensenada are also experiencing increased cartel-related gang violence.
The U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana issued a statement saying it was โaware of reports of multiple vehicle fires, roadblocks and heavy police activity in Tijuana, Mexicali, Rosarito, Ensenada, and Tecate.โ
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, across from El Paso, Texas, is also experiencing increased cartel violence. Its president, Andrรฉs Manuel Lรณpez Obrador, issued a statement about increased violence saying cartel and gang members had โattacked the civilian, innocent population like a sort of revenge. It wasnโt just a clash between two groups, but it got to the point where they began to shoot civilians, innocent people. That is the most unfortunate thing in this affair.โ

๐ฎ๐ณ Farmers break barricades as protests return to Indian capital
Protesters broke barricades and shouted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Indian capital of New Delhi on Monday, after thousands of farmers gathered to protest against what they said were unfulfilled promises by the government.
Farmers are demanding that the government guarantee a minimum support price for all produce and clear all farmer debts, among other things, according to a statement from the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the farmer organisation that organised the protest on Monday.

I'm really impressed by the success of the auction TON recently conducted for their domain/wallet names. Wallet.ton was sold for 215,250 Toncoin (~$260000) while casino.ton was sold for ~$244000.
If TON has been able to achieve these results, imagine how successful Telegram with its 700 million users could be if we put reserved @ usernames, group and channel links for auction. In addition to millions of catchy t.me addresses like @storm or @royal, all four-letter usernames could be made available for sale (@bank, @club, @game, @gift etc).
This would create a new platform where username holders could transfer them to interested parties in protected deals โ with ownership secured on the blockchain via NFT-like smart-contracts. Other elements of the Telegram ecosystem, including channels, stickers or emoji, could later also become part of this marketplace.
When it comes to scalability and speed, TON probably has the best technology to host such decentralized sales. Our team can write bullet-proof smart contracts for TON (since it was us who invented its smart-contract language), so we are inclined to try out TON as the underlying blockchain for our future marketplace.
Let's see if we can add a little bit of Web 3.0 to Telegram in the coming weeks.

August 21st 2022
Last night, while waving through a packed crowd with camera in hand, I was continuously asked what I was filming and why Media2Rise was creating an episode on this particular event. A centuria of American nationalists from across the United States, from different organizations, Active Clubs, crews, etc were not standing in a packed venue circling a fighters ring just for the sole purpose of competition, but to set the template for the future.
Our 3.0 style of pushing physical fitness and lifting ourselves to higher standards and capabilities has been taken to new heights as we have reached a milestone within our unified movement.ย
We are now taking the reins and learning how to quickly innovate and adapt to the constantly changing trends to win the hearts and minds of our people. We are building our people up from within, giving them hope, identity, and purpose - values that are stripped from them every day by our enemies.ย
Not only are we awakening the warrior spirit, but we are demonstrating that we can organize on our own, outside of the main stream structure. We are creating a counterculture of resistance.ย
This was no ordinary event. As for the first time, a roster of fighters from across the spectrum stepped inside a ring to do battle for brotherhood and our shared goals.ย
The venue was modest, the event was private, and the invites were limited in number. However, this model will serve as theย foundation for what we are building and launch us towards a future of continuous expansion and reaching new heights.
This is White youth in revolt - this is the birth of a new frontier!

๐บ๐ธ ๐ญ Wanted: 7,000 construction workers for Intel chip plants
โI donโt know of a single commercial construction company thatโs not hiring,โ said Mary Tebeau, executive director of the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio.
JOHNSTOWN, Ohio โ Ohioโs largest-ever economic development project comes with a big employment challenge: how to find 7,000 construction workers in an already booming building environment when thereโs also a national shortage of people working in the trades.
At hand is the $20 billion semiconductor manufacturing operation near the stateโs capital,ย announced by Intel earlier this year. When the two factories, known as fabs, open in 2025, the facility will employ 3,000 people with an average salary of around $135,000.
โThis project reverberated nationwide,โ said Michael Engbert, an Ohio-based official with the Laborersโ International Union of North America.

Ontario Ministry of Transportation issued order to seize all license plates
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has effectively shut down 39 trucking businesses in the wake of a crackdown on so-called Freedom Convoy protesters. Responding to questions from trucknews.com, the ministry confirmed that 12 suspension and seizure orders were issued to Ontario-based large truck operators involved in the protests, suspending their operating authority throughout Canada, and issuing an order to seize all the plates registered to them.
Protesters from outside the province faced sanctions of their own. Twenty-seven seizure orders were issued to large truck operators from outside the province, banning them from operating any commercial motor vehicle in Ontario.

โ๏ธTHE ENEMY AT THE GATES: Daria Platonova (Dugina) was killed: Russian-language channel ะะบะธะผ ะะฟะฐัะตะฒย
"On the evening of August 20, I met Daria Platonova and her father Alexander Dugin at the "Tradition" festival. From the very first seconds, we plunged into the discussion. We talked about the Russky Idea, the Empire and the cultural war. Dasha has always connected what wasย unconnectable. She was always sharp and deep in her attitude. It was she who showed my songs to Alexander Gelevich, after which he will write the main review of my life: "Those who are against Apachev, are against the Empire."
A few hours after this meeting, her car will be blown up in the Podmoscowie. It is obvious that this act of terrorism was being prepared against Dugin. It is also obvious that from today, terrorist attacks are also starting in the Metropolitan Capital, from today there are no more safe places. The only way to secure the country is to destroy our natural enemy sitting in Kyiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Nikolaev, Odessa and other Russky cities.
Rest in Peace, Daria. You will be avenged!"

The head of the Drug Enforcement Administration said two Mexican cartels are behind the influx of fentanyl in the U.S. that's killing tens of thousands of Americans.
"What we see happening at DEA is essentially that there are two cartels in Mexico, the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, that are killing Americans with fentanyl at catastrophic and record rates like we have never seen before," DEA Administrator Anne Milgram told "CBS Mornings" on Friday ahead ofย National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. "Those cartels are acting with calculated, deliberate treachery to get fentanyl to the United States and to get people to buy it through fake pills, by hiding it in other drugs, any means that they can take in order to drive addiction and to make money."

๐บ๐ธ United States create unmanned version of HIMARS jet system - autonomous version will receive 12 long-range missiles
The United States is working on an unmanned version of the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system.
What we know
The Aerospace and Missile Systems Research and Development Center of Excellence has created the Autonomousย Multi-Domain Launcher,ย or simplyย AML,ย for this purpose.ย It is a modified version of the HIMARS multiple launch rocket systemย thatย can operate under remote control or in fully autonomous mode.
Engineers are now developing software and hardware that will allow the combat vehicle to perform complex maneuvers in high-risk environments without human involvement. Specialists intend to solve the problem of HIMARS movementย in unfamiliar terrain, as well as to train the unmanned system to interact with infantry and other equipment under enemy fire.
For this purpose, the missile system will be equipped with a large number of special sensors. The developers note that the sensors used should not emit energy that could make the enemy detect HIMARS.
Theย AMLย testsย are carried on the familiarย FMTV M1140ย truck base,ย but the final configuration will look different. The chassis will not have a cockpit and will be equipped with a larger launcher, designed to launch 12 missiles like the M270ย MLRS.ย Recall that the container of conventional HIMARSย can hold up to six GMLRS rocketsย or oneย ATACMSย long-range missile.
The unmanned version of the HIMARSย will beย able to use long-range missiles, but the launch range has not yet been specified. However, it is worth recalling thatย the AML HIMARS Incrementย 2 withย PrSMย missilesย wasย tested at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 2021.

๐ซ๐ท ๐พ๐ช French Foreign Legion arrives in Yemen to secure gas facility
France reportedly aims to export gas from the facility in Shabwah in order to reduce Europe's reliance on Russian fuel
National Salvation Government (NSG) in Yemen has expressed concern over what it called โsuspiciousโ activity by US and French troops stationed south of the war-torn country.
The discussion took place during a parliamentary session held by NSG officials on 17 August.
The suspicious activity cited by the NSG refers to a claim made by Yemenโs former Foreign Minister, Abu Bakr al-Qirbi, who said that French Foreign Legion, a French military force comprising of foreign nationals, has arrived in Yemenโs Shabwah province to secure control of the Balhaf gas facility.
The former minister said that there are French โpreparations being made to export gas from the Balhaf facility โฆ in light of increased international gas prices,โ and in an attempt to reduce Europeโs reliance on Russian fuel amid the global energy crisis exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine.
Al-Qirbi also suggested that the French move โcould be the reason for events in Shabwah,โ referring to recent clashes between UAE-backed mercenary groups and Islah Party forces affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and the Saudi-backed President Leadership Council (PLC).
In July, Paris and Abu Dhabiย signedย an energy cooperation deal for the joint production of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
According to reports from earlier in the year, the energy cooperation between the two countries is aimed atย securingย control over Yemeni gas resources through the Balhaf facility, which is owned by French multinational oil and gas company TotalEnergies SE.
Al-Qirbi noted that the recent arrival of French forces to the area is meant to โprovide protection for the facility.โ

๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ท Saudi-Iran dialogue at โvery goodโ stage: Iranian official
The spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in Iranโs Shura Council, Abu Al-Fadl Amoei, told media on 19 August that talks to restore ties with Saudi Arabia are at a โvery goodโ stage.
โOur negotiations in the Gulf states region are being followed up seriouslyโฆ revitalizing bilateral relations is an important issue that requires work and time, and we should not expect to achieve these goals immediatelyโฆ our primary focus is on preserving and securing national interests,โ Amoei was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
The spokesman said that dialogue with Riyadh has reached โa very good level,โ expressing hope for a new round of negotiations as a โpreludeโ to a final revival of political and diplomatic relations.
โAlthough Iran, as an active state in the region, may criticize Saudi Arabiaโs positions on regional and international issues, this [should] not negate the existence of a bilateral relationship to follow up on issues and exchange views,โ Amoei added.
Relations between the two countries were initially severed in 2016, when Riyadh executed a prominent Shia cleric, Sheikh Nemr Al-Nemr, in the kingdom, prompting angry Iranian protestors to attack to attack the Saudi embassy in Tehran.
Recently, however, the two countries have expressed a desire to improve relations, and have heldย several roundsย of negotiations through mediation from Baghdad.

In a telephone conversation, Putin warned that the bombing of the plant could lead to the radiation contamination of vast European territories, the Kremlinโs presidential press service reported.
The rulers noted the importance of sending a mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the atomic power plant as soon as possible to assess the actual situation on the ground, he reported.
In this regard, the Russian side confirmed its readiness to provide the necessary assistance to the inspectors.
Putin also told Macron about his interest in having experts from the UN General Secretariat and the International Committee of the Red Cross visit the settlement of Elenovka, located in the southwest of Donetsk, to investigate the shelling of a penitentiary center, where 50 Ukrainians were killed at the end of July.
Moreover, the heads of State discussed the Istanbul food agreement, signed last July 22, to ensure the safe export of grain from Black Sea ports.
โThere are still obstacles to Russian shipments of food and fertilizers, which will not contribute to solving the tasks related to ensuring global food security,โ the Kremlin report noted in reference to the dialogue.

๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐น๐ท Israel & Turkey Announce Full Normalization Of Ties
"It was decided to once again upgrade the level of the relations between the two countries to that of full diplomatic ties and to return ambassadors and consuls general from the two countries," a statement from the office of interim Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said.
"Upgrading relations will contribute to deepening ties between the two peoples, expanding economic trade, and cultural ties, and strengthening regional stability," the statement added. The move to normalize ties was also praised by Israeli President Isaac Herzog as "an important development" that will "encourage greater economic relations" between Israel and Turkey. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu confirmed the decision and stated: "Appointment of ambassadors was one of the steps for the normalization of ties. Such a positive step came from Israel as a result of these efforts, and as Turkey, we also decided to appoint an ambassador to Israel, to Tel Aviv."
The strain in relations initially began in 2010, when a Turkish-sponsored fleet of humanitarian ships bound for Gaza was attacked in the Mediterranean by the Israeli navy, resulting in theย deaths of six Turkish activists. In 2018, both governments expelled each otherโs ambassadors, with Turkey criticizing Tel Aviv for its abuse of Palestinian human rights. A year later, the two states scaled back their economic cooperation. By 2021, however, economic relations had rekindled, asย bilateral trade between Israel and Turkey reached around $7.7 billion.
Since then, Tel Aviv and Ankara have been involved inย effortsย to reach a full normalization of ties. Onย July 7, the two states signed their first aviationย agreementย since 1951. On March 9, Herzogย visitedย Turkey, marking the first visit by an Israeli leader to the country since 2008.
During his visit to Tel Aviv on 25 May, Cavusogluย saidย that a normalization of ties between Turkey and Israel would have a "positive impact" that would result in a "peaceful" solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Despite Turkeyโs purported support for the Palestinians, however, Ankara has beenย deportingย members of the Hamas resistance group from the country at Tel Avivโs request.

๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ช ๐ฎ๐ณ A commercial corridor involving the UAE could reshape Eurasia | Michael Tanchum
The corridor that also includes India and Israel will link the Arabian Sea
The UAE is the centre of a new geo-economic map. An Indian-Arabian-Mediterranean commercial corridor is emerging with the Emirates as its hub, reconfiguring patterns of trade between the Indian Ocean Region, the Middle East and Europe. In the process, the corridor is also redefining geopolitics along Eurasiaโs southern rim.
The new corridor runs along Eurasiaโs southern maritime rim, with the UAEโs ports acting as the Indian Ocean connectivity node. Goods arriving in the UAE from Indiaโs western coast would then be transported by the rail link being established from the UAE via Saudi Arabia and Jordan to the Haifa port on Israelโs Mediterranean coast.
While a trilateral summit among the UAE, Israel and India was the logical next step for the corridor, the USโs participation in what became a quadrilateral I2U2 summit demonstrates the corridorโs strategic importance in the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific region. In fiscal year 2021/22, the US surpassed China to become Indiaโs largest trade partner.
Nonetheless, Beijingโs commercial footprint remains quite formidable. China is the UAEโs largest trade partner and Israelโs second largest. Beijing is slated to operate a state-of-the-art private port that it built in Israelโs Haifa Bay for the next 25 years.

๐ด Immigrants who had their boat burned by a Greek fisherman in Agathonisi are supposedly "missing"
>https://archive.is/WconG
๐ธ Sadly the primary source regarding the incident comes from the German NGO "Alarm Phone", the information is very dubious and cant be verified
โ ๏ธ๐งAlarm Phone claims 21 people were isolated on the island, 1 of them injured
โผ๏ธ They lost contact with the illegal immigrants after the group claimed to have been found by authorities. The NGO said that the Greek authorities deny it and were still looking for the group. Then accuses Greece of somehow pushing them back to Turkish waters (ancient boat materialization sorcery?)
/GBG/
๐ข The NGO happens to know the precise location of far too many illegal immigrant boats long before the authorities of any country. They were investigated and charged in Greece for espionage and human smuggling along with other NGOs (Post HERE)
๐ข Thankfully the based Greek fisherman has not been identified

๐ฆ๐ทโ๐ฌ๐ง Argentina sends secretary to Brazil to discuss support for British military presence in the Malvinas (Falklands)
On Wednesday (17), on a visit to Brazil, the Secretary of Malvinas, Antarctica and South Atlantic of Argentina, Guillermo Carmona, told O Globo newspaper that he came to the country in order to strengthen ties of military cooperation with Brasilia in view of the large British military presence in the Falkland Islands.
"The Malvinas, Antarctica and the South Atlantic are a strategic tripod for Argentina. We have a very important cooperation with Brazil, but we want to move to a level of greater scope and importance," he said.
In addition to Brasilia, Buenos Aires is also seeking Uruguay's support and intends to reactivate the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone (Zopacas) with African countries, a Brazilian initiative approved by the UN General Assembly in 1986.
There will be a meeting of ministers from the countries bordering the Atlantic Ocean in November of this year.
"With Brazil, Uruguay and Africa, we share a zone of peace and cooperation recognised by the UN. We want to reactivate Zopacas and this proposal is well received by the African countries," said the secretary of state, noting that of the little more than 3,000 permanent residents of the Malvinas, 1,500 are military personnel.

๐ฌ๐ง RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets
The head of RAF recruitment has resigned, allegedly in protest at an "effective pause" on offering jobs to white male recruits in favour of women and ethnic minorities, defence sources have claimed.
They said the service was attempting to hit "impossible" diversity targets.
The defence sources accused Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the RAF, of appearing willing to compromise UK security at a time of growing threats from Russia and China in pursuit of albeit important goals such as improving diversity and inclusion.
One of the defence sources noted how General Sir Patrick Sanders, the head of the army, has likened today's security challenges to those in the build-up to the Second World War, warning that the UK is facing its "1937 moment".
"Then you look at the head of the RAF and he's prepared to break the operational requirement of the air force just to meet diversity [targets]," the source said.

โ๏ธ How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol | By ๐จ๐ฆ Daniel Panneton
The AR-15 is a sacred object among Christian nationalists. Now "radical-traditional" Catholics are bringing a sacrament of their own to the movement.
The rosaryโin these handsโis anything but holy. But for millions of believers, the beads, which provide an aide-mรฉmoire for a sequence of devotional prayers, are a widely recognized symbol of Catholicism and a source of strength. And many take genuine sustenance from Catholic theologyโs concept of the Church Militant and the tradition of regarding the rosary as a weapon against Satan. Asย Pope Francis said in a 2020 address, โThere is no path to holiness โฆ without spiritual combat,โ andย Francisย is only one of many Church officials who have endorsed the idea of the rosary as an armament in that fight.
Militia culture, a fetishism of Western civilization, and masculinist anxieties have become mainstays of the far right in the U.S.โand rad-trad Catholics have now taken up residence in this company. Their social-media accounts commonly promoteย accelerationistย andย survivalistย content, along with combat-medical and tactical training, as well as memes depicting balaclava-clad gunmen that draw on the โterrorwaveโ or โwarcoreโ aesthetic that is popular in far-right circles.
Catholics are taught to love and forgive their enemies, that to do otherwise is a sin. But the extremist understanding of spiritual warfare overrides that command. To do battle with Satanโwhose influence in the world is, according to Catholic demonology, real and menacingโis to deploy violence for deliverance and redemption. The โbattle beadsโ culture of spiritual warfare permits radical-traditional Catholicsย literally to demonizeย their political opponents and regard the use of armed force against them as sanctified. The sacramental rosary isnโt just a spiritual weapon but one that comes with physical ammunition.

Yesterday, Justice Minister, Cฤtฤlin Predoiu, held a speech at the Magistrate Supreme Council congratulating the members for giving the green light to the new changes made to the so-called Justice Laws which make up the foundation of the Romanian judiciary system.
While the Magistrate Supreme Council has a purely consultative role, it is another step in the passing of these laws, which have been under public debate since 2021. The Minister aims to impose the primacy of European law over Romanian law, which has drawn criticism from several top lawyers and judges accusing the minister of "giving up the national sovereignty".
The changes includes the elimination of the penalties a judge or magistrate would receive if he/she would go against the Romanian constitution or any decision made by the Constitutional Court of Romania, a necessary change as European law sometimes contradicts Romanian law, and the elimination of the Special Section for the Investigation of Magistrates and her replacement with a impartial body.
Last april the law was sent to the European Commission in accordance with the rules imposed by the Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification (MCV) which were ultimately approved by Brussels. In a visit done by Vice-President of the European Commission for Values and Transparency, Vera Jourova, she stated in an interview while in Bucharest, that "she and the commission are monitoring the changes and the new structure to make sure it's doing it's job properly" .

๐ฒ๐ฝ MEXICO CITY (AP) โ Mexicoโs president has begun exploring plans to sidestep congress to hand formal control of the National Guard to the army, a move that could extend the militaryโs control over policing in a country with high levels of violence.
That has raised concerns because President Andrรฉs Manuel Lรณpez Obrador won approval for creating the force in 2019 by pledging in the constitution that it would be under nominal civilian control and that the army would be off the streets by 2024.
Neither the National Guard nor the military have been able to lower the insecurity in the country, however. This past week, drug cartels staged widespread arson and shooting attacks, terrifying civilians in three main northwest cities in a bold challenge to the state. On Saturday, authorities sent 300 army special forces and 50 National Guard members to the border city of Tijuana.
Still, Lรณpez Obrador wants to keep soldiers involved in policing, and remove civilian control over the National Guard, whose officers and commanders are mostly soldiers, with military training and pay grades.
But the president no longer has the votes in congress to amend the constitution and has suggested he may try to do it as a regulatory change with a simple majority in congress or by an executive order and see if the courts will uphold that.
Lรณpez Obrador warned Friday against politicizing the issue, saying the military is needed to fight Mexicoโs violent drug cartels. But then he immediately politicized it himself.
โA constitutional reform would be ideal, but we have to look for ways, because they (the opposition) instead of helping us, are blocking us, there is an intent to prevent us from doing anything,โ Lรณpez Obrador said.

๐ด ๐ฒ๐ฝ Among the 164 United Cartel mercenaries detained in Michoacan were two members of the criminal leadership. - Kahlo
Comrades under the sonorous nicknames of La Maseca and El Gabino, former members of the Templar cartel, at the time of their arrest, had already opened a recruitment of volunteers from among the local population. The calculation was quite traditional: to be the first to arrange a series of drug blockades (as the Jalisco New Generation cartel did in Guanajuato and Tijuana) and put forward its conditions to the state authorities. And at the same time - pinpoint competitors from CJNG.
The mercenaries even managed to fully arm themselves and so far stubbornly keep quiet about who was their generous sponsor.
It is noteworthy that the Pueblos Unidos grouping - a division of the United Cartel - was cleared by federal forces in almost one day. Although they did not find the strength to do so for the past few years.
Cleaned up and actually made a gift to the Jalisco New Generation cartel.

โข Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough Confirmed: California Team Achieved Ignition
A major breakthrough inย nuclear fusionย has been confirmed a year after it was achieved at a laboratory in California.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL's) National Ignition Facility (NIF) recorded the first case of ignition on August 8, 2021, the results of which have now been published in threeย peer-reviewed papers.
"The record shot was a major scientific advance in fusion research, which establishes that fusion ignition in the lab is possible at NIF," said Omar Hurricane, chief scientist for LLNL's inertial confinement fusion program,ย in a statement.
"Achieving the conditions needed for ignition has been a long-standing goal for all inertial confinement fusion research and opens access to a new experimental regime where alpha-particle self-heating outstrips all the cooling mechanisms in the fusion plasma."
In the experiments performed to reach this ignition result, researchers heat and compress a central "hot spot" of deuterium-tritium (hydrogen atoms with one and two neutrons, respectively) fuel using a surrounding dense piston also made from deuterium-tritium, creating a super hot, super pressurizedย hydrogen plasma.
The problem with fusion energy at the moment is that we do not have the technical capabilities to harness this power. Scientists from across the world are currently working to solve these issues.

Minneapolis schools will lay off white teachers first, violating the Constitution and Title VII
The Minneapolis Public Schools have adopted a race-based layoff provision that violates the Constitution and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. โA Minneapolis teachers union contract stipulates that white teachers will be laid off or reassigned before โeducators of colorโ in the event Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) needs to reduce staff,โย reports Alpha News:
After the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) and MPSย struck a dealย on March 25 to end a 14-day teacher strike, the two sides drew up and ratified a new collective bargaining agreement complete with various proposals.
One of the proposals dealt with โeducators of color protections.โ The agreement states that if a non-white teacher is subject to excess, MPS must excess a white teacher with the โnext leastโ seniority.
โStarting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population,โ the agreement reads.
This violates a well-known Supreme Courtย decisionย overturning the race-based layoff of a white teacher, and contradicts a well-known federal appeals courtย decision, which ruled that race-based layoffs of white teachers violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
It is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.ย When it comes to termination (as opposed to hiring or promotion under an affirmative-action plan), an employer canโt racially discriminate even against whites.

"PMC" Wagner ", which by its activity has achieved the displacement of competitors from Mali.
Not least due to mutually beneficial relations with the local government of the military, who use the rhetoric of the fight against French imperialism and colonialism with might and main.
France to the last tried to cling to Mali, but, just like in the Central African Republic, failed. During Macron's presidency, 2 countries fell out of the French colonial empire at once. Largely due to the inconspicuous, but effective work of "Wagner".

The main issue with the green movement and green tech in general is everything they work towards, is in defiance of nature or attempts to artificially control it. These artificial measures require constant upkeep and inputs and will break down without constant human intervention. The Ecological/Environmental movements should focus more on taking advantage of natural processes and start geoengineering techniques more often to shape and work within nature's cycles.
Shaping and working within natural processes, cycles huge amounts of input to keep running. For example, gravity fed from the ocean/sea to make salt lakes in desert low points. In this the sun can evaporate water on its own with no human input to dump rain elsewhere. You could perform additional steps, by using it to cool thermal power plants to increase evaporation, or attempt to enclose it in glass, increase evaporation rate andย local extraction of fresh water. Even without human input, the lake refills itself and drops freshwater as rainfall elsewhere. (Works better if there are mountains nearby like death valley).ย
General idea being to work more on long term outputs than high throughputs. The heat is there to form the sun, no need for huge amounts of electricity or machinery. The gravity and water is there to feed it, so no need for power or buildup pumps. Additionally, it also doesn't dump brine back into the ocean unlike normal desalination plants causing local area disruptions. You could also extract some hydropower from the downward flow of water to fill said basin but it will be limited to the evaporation rate. The objective should ultimately be to increase fresh water to increase the proliferation of life.
We can also use the evaporation pools to pull minerals from. Extracting rare earth minerals from a very low effort strategy of digging a trench from the ocean, to somewhere below sea level. Most or these indentations are in desert areas, often close to the ocean or sea. Keep in mind that the Panama Canal was far, far more complicated than this.
A gathering of Men, with a strong sense of duty could come up with other geoengineering ideas together. Ideas that could both protect nature, create new ecosystems and allow people to learn everything by building them from scratch. It would properly reconnect the present to the past, when the ancient Romans produced legendary military engineering feats, despite the simple, yet practical execution of their ideas.

>Deposition of organic matter onto the seafloor in anoxic conditions is a major natural form of carbon sequestration -- it is the source of the majority of the world's oil deposits. So injecting oxygen to prevent dead zones could have unintended consequences by releasing additional carbon back into the environment.
>The idea of dead zones (eutrophication) is really quite interesting. You could just as easily call them "too much life" zones.

Should the decline of CO2 continue unabated, life will regress to more simple forms, like that of the pre-Cambrian era. Everything is grinding to a halt on geologic timescales. Carbon is life, trapping carbon reduces potential life. Coal deposits remaining trapped underground means tonnes of less life that can exist. We have an abundance of fossil fuels in the first place because there was nothing to consume all of the plant material 350 million years ago, accidentally locking away carbon from the cycle of life. So-called environmentalists want to permanently get rid of carbon instead of binding it to life as it's supposed to be.
The silicate cycle is depleting carbon, life will probably die due to lack of CO2. If we burn all the fossil fuels we may extend life by a couple hundred million years. More CO2, higher rate of solar conversion to carbohydrates, more carbohydrates, more plant life and more free energy for all higher forms of life to eat. The less carbon, the more effort is needed to collect CO2 for photosynthesis. Plant life growth tends to be more limited by carbohydrate collection, which is sequestering carbon in cellulose lowering availability of carbon for life.ย
Earth's warming cycle is going to happen no matter what we do as it always has, burning carbon pales in comparison to the macro warming trend. Burning CO2 increases plant growth locking carbon in living things, just don't clear-cut all the forests and pollute all the marine life. Burning right now just extends possible max duration of life on the planet. Without humanity it would have never been fixed. Running theory is when cellulose was evolved, there was no bacteria that could break it down. Plant growth exploded until they starved of no CO2. Dead trees laid around unable to be broken down, were buried in the sands of time and became coal.ย
Just like when you eat life you turn it into energy and CO2, freed carbon is active life cycle carbon. Grow more active life to reduce it again. Plants bring it back into a solid usable form for life. Carbon capture technology just wastes energy to reduce life potential. Trapping of carbon quite literally reduces capacity for life. The reason CO2 is so low despite the amount produced from all life and processes is plants snap it back up and turn it into sugars or other organic substances, then animals eat it exchanging where it is. Then they exhale carbon dioxide which eventually becomes sugar.ย
Ultimately, fossil fuels are just carbon that got lost. Unable to use or be processed by life. Remember that this planet is a miracle of carbon based life.

๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐บ๐ธ Together with the Rybar team @rybar, I wrote an interim report on what is happening in Mexico. | Russian-language channel Kahlo reports.
In addition, it is worth adding a few more points:
โช๏ธThe chaos in Tijuana and other border crossings is beneficial in that it allows the authorities of Democratic California to abruptly stop the reception of migrants, as well as potential asylum seekers from among the Russian "opposition". Strictly speaking, opposition families have been marinating at the border for several months already, along with visitors from Honduras, but now there will be a โlegalโ reason for this.
๐บIllegals from Latin America are poor and cannot afford to live in Tijuana for a long time. They will go to the borders of other states. Despite the fact that the situation there is much more dangerous, and the local population is extremely angry about the migration issue and shoots well.
โช๏ธNon-obvious aspects of what is happening, related to the fact that the Pope has deprived the privileges of the Catholic order Opus Dei, colleagues told on the channel "The Devil Walks in Dixie" @dixi_devil. On my own behalf, I will add that the redistribution of spheres of influence will affect not only the drug trade. In the same state of Guanajuato, the main for criminal groups is the trade in fuel stolen from the pipelines of the Mexican state company Pemex.
๐บThe potential death of American citizens and government employees during another drug cartel attack on local resorts is a kind of collectible sparkling bottle that many of us keep in the closet until a special occasion.
โช๏ธThis will easily make it possible to recognize the actions of cartels as narcoterrorism, and themselves as a threat to US national security. The latter gives the United States an excuse to use a range of economic or even forceful measures against members of the current Mexican government. And not only against them!

๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐ฝ Massive drug cartel attacks on Mexican cities - what's going on? | Russian-language channel Rybar reports.
On Friday, at about 10 p.m. local time, trucks, cars and public transport were set on fire in Baja California. The municipalities of Mexicali, Ensenada, Tecate, Rosarito and Tijuana were attacked.
The Jalisco New Generation cartel claimed responsibility for what was happening. The perpetrators are spreading messages on social media that they will continue their attacks until 3 a.m. Sunday and crack down on anyone they meet on the streets during this period.
The situation is heated by the fact that Mexicali, Tecate and Tijuana directly border the United States. As for Ensenada and Rosarito, these are popular local resorts where many American citizens are currently located. The governors of at least the border states of the United States will simply be forced to respond to what is happening.
Baja California isn't the only state that's been turbulent this week:
โช๏ธAugust 9-10, similar attacks occurred in Guanajuato and Jalisco. Based in Guanajuato, the soldiers of the Mexican National Guard had little to no involvement in maintaining order.
โช๏ธOn August 11, in the border area of โโCiudad Juarez, 11 people were killed in a series of attacks with firearms and mass car arson.
โช๏ธOn August 13, in parallel with the attacks in Baja California, riots resumed in Guanajuato. Law enforcement officers from the municipalities entered into a confrontation with the criminals.
What is the purpose of organized chaos?
Members of the cartel disseminate information that in this way they allegedly achieve the release of one of the regional "leaders" from prison, and also take revenge on the authorities of individual states for repressive measures against members of their families.
At the same time, against the backdrop of what is happening, panic is growing among the local population, as well as negativity towards President Andres Manuel Lรณpez Obrador and the ruling political party MORENA.
For the world community, the Mexican President recently gave the idea to end all military conflicts and trade wars for five years. He offered to spend the freed time on caring for the poor and stimulating production.
At the same time, Obrador's "peacefulness" in his native Mexico has not been amusing for a long time. Against the backdrop of attacks by drug cartels, he offered to fight crime "with hugs, not bullets." At the same time, the murder rate in Mexico during the reign of the Obrador team increased several times and currently exceeds even Ukrainian and Afghan figures.
The lack of an adequate response to the attacks of criminal communities that have occurred this week does not bode well for Obrador. The systematic nature of the attacks, as well as the skillful warming up of the situation in the troubled states (such as Guanajuato) and on the border, hint that structures associated with Washington may be involved in what is happening.
In this case, both the Democratic and the Republican parties have an interest in the riots on the border. The first will play into the hands of security problems in conservative Texas and Arizona. The Democratic Party will have one more reason to accuse the authorities of states opposed to it of incompetence and inability to cope with the situation.
However, against the backdrop of what is happening, the American border states are getting both a reason and an opportunity to strengthen their own armed forces (which is already happening in Texas), as well as disobedience to federal authorities in matters of civilian possession of weapons.

Simply put, it is not profitable for the west to feed Africa and the third world. Western farms have enough problems to worry about domestically, through supply chain issues and replacing the migrant-run, spontaneously combustible food processing plants.
Self interested companies will move the heavens to maintain their profitability and generally that aligns with you being alive and well enough to consume the product and show up to work. The west will let a billion Africans starve if we really have to. Even if it's an unintentional aspect of market dynamics.
I think we tend to interpret the system's complexity and interdependence as weakness but if the last few years have proven anything, it's that it's exceptionally resilient. They will just focus on home instead of the rest of the world.
AP news had interesting information on this exact topic.
โผ "Who is first in line for the grain from Ukraine could be affected by humanitarian needs but also comes down to existing business arrangements and commercial interests, including who is willing to pay the most.", says Shaun Ferris, a Kenya-based adviser on agriculture and markets for Catholic Relief Services, a partner in World Food Program distributions.
โผ โUkraine is not a charity,โ Ferris said. โIt will be looking to get the best deals on the marketโ to maintain its own fragile economy.
โผ Plus, most of the trapped grain is for animal feed, not for people to eat, experts say. That will extend the warโsย ripple effects for the worldโs most vulnerable peopleย thousands of miles away in countries like Somalia and Afghanistan, whereย hunger could soon turn to famineย and where inflation has pushed theย cost of food and energy out of reach for many.
โผ Example: The Razoni, a vessel that was loaded with more than 26,000 tons of corn for chicken feed.
There will be global famine as global supply chains break down. Wars springing up as a result and mass migration in numbers so high that they might perish while crossing the Sahara desert. What we're seeing is the makings of nothing less than a malthusian correction event for demographics of the world.

๐ ๐บ๐ฆ ๐พ Where does the grain exported from Ukraine go? Anywhere but "starving Africa" | Russian-language channel Rybar reports.
After the conclusion of an agreement to open a โgrain corridorโ from Odessa, we assumed that the true purpose of the deal was not at all to prevent a food collapse in Africa, which was actively speculated by the Western media.
And these thoughts were confirmed in practice: judging by the documents that surfaced on the net, not a single ship with Ukrainian grain went to the starving Somalia, Yemen or Ethiopia. Most of the exported agricultural products were expected to go to European buyers.
Only two of the 11 dry cargo ships that left Ukrainian ports from 1 to 11 August went to Lebanon and Egypt. But there the situation was almost comical.
For example, in Beirut, where earlier there was a โgreat needโ for grain from Ukraine, the buyer simply refused the goods due to a delay. And the share of Ukrainian grain in the Egyptian food sector is completely negligible.
All this clearly demonstrates that no one in the West cares about the food problems of Africa and other poorest countries. Each side has its own interests:
โช๏ธThe EU is to provide itself with food against the backdrop of a possible shortage of agricultural crops.
โช๏ธUSA - to take a share in the grain market by squeezing out other producers.
โช๏ธTurkey - to process Ukrainian grain and sell it at high prices on the market.
And before the famine in Africa, which Russia is accused of creating, none of the above really cares. They are in no hurry to prevent it.

The raid did not occur until the morning of Aug. 8, 2022, when federal agents from the FBI arrived at Mar-a-Lago to execute the search warrant.
The document, obtained and reviewed by Breitbart News, shows that the DOJ and FBI waited several days after Reinhart approved the warrant to conduct the raid, something that severely undercuts the talking points issued by Attorney General Merrick Garland in a public statement on Thursday when he broke his silence to discuss the matter in televised remarks."

โขTensions are high, and the White House has tried to delay the Taiwan Policy Act that aims to upgrade ties with the island by designating it as a major non-Nato ally
โขObservers say the bill โwould overturn Sino-US relationsโ and could prompt a stronger response from Beijing than House Speaker Pelosiโs visit to Taipei
That โwould be equivalent to recognition of Taiwanโs sovereignty. It means that the US would abandon its China policy completelyโ, Lu said. โRecognising Taiwanโs sovereignty means recognising its independence, and as a result, China would have to resolve the Taiwan issue once and for all.โ
US President Joe Biden on Monday voiced concerns about the Peopleโs Liberation Armyโs days of drills around Taiwan. US officials denounced the exercises that including ballistic missile launches over the island, accusing Beijing of trying to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and destabilising the region.
Experts are pessimistic about the prospects for ties between Beijing, Washington and Taipei, given the likelihood of Republicans controlling both houses of Congress following the midterm elections, which could lead to the introduction of more pro-Taiwan legislation.

๐ช๐บ ๐ ๐บ๐ธ Europe eyes SpaceX to fill launch void left by Russian tensions
The European Space Agency (ESA) has begun preliminary technical discussions with Elon Musk's SpaceX that could lead to the temporary use of its launchers after the Ukraine conflict blocked Western access to Russia's Soyuz rockets.
The private American competitor to Europe's Arianespace has emerged as a key contender to plug a temporary gap alongside Japan and India, but final decisions depend on the still unresolved timetable for Europe's delayed Ariane 6 rocket.
The political fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine has already been a boon for SpaceX's Falcon 9, which has swept up other customers severing ties with Moscow's increasingly isolated space sector.
On Monday, Northrop Grumman booked three Falcon 9 missions to ferry NASA cargo to the International Space Station while it designs a new version of its Antares rocket, whose Russian-made engines were withdrawn by Moscow in response to sanctions.
Europe has until now depended on the Italian Vega for small payloads, Russia's Soyuz for medium ones and the Ariane 5 for heavy missions. Its next-generation Vega C staged a debut last month and the new Ariane 6 has been delayed until next year.

๐บ๐ธ FBI searched Trumpโs home to look for nuclear documents and other items, sources say
Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trumpโs Florida residence on Monday, according to people familiar with the investigation.
Experts in classified information said the unusual search underscores deep concern among government officials about the types of information they thought could be located at Trumpโs Mar-a-Lago Club and potentially in danger of falling into to the wrong hands.

A little too clickbaity, but a good video nonetheless.
It would take few years of repeating droughts before it looks like a collapse scenario.
Even with all of the variables like fertilizer costs, hay/feed prices and inflation added on top of the drought, It wouldn't kill the beef market.
Farmers selling their cattle is normal in dry periods. Less mouths to feed = you'll survive this year. That being said, many farms will most likely be forced to shut down because of it.

๐ฌ๐ง 'More money in death than life' for hard-hit cattle farmers
Some of the UKโs rarest breeds of cattle are at risk because rising farm costs mean cows are worth more dead than alive, a meat retailer has said.
Farmison & Co has issued the stark warning as the nation's cattle farmers faces unprecedented pressures due to rising costs.
One of the firm's long-term beef suppliers, David Harrison from Grewelthorpe, said that for the first time in his life, he would get more money for selling a cow at auction for slaughter rather than for breeding.
John Pallagi, CEO of Farmison & Co, said it was a "remarkable and potentially devastating development".
โIf it continues then up and down the country, farmers and producers will be incentivised to sell off their breading stock for meat, never to calve again.
โIt speaks to the huge and risings costs involved in farming right now that the long-term prospects of making a profit on new members of the herd are becoming more remote, and producers are simply selling up. It is unprecedented in modern times.โ

๐บ๐ธ Justice Department files motion to unseal Mar-a-Lago search warrant
It was not immediately clear if and when the unsealing request, filed in federal court in Miami, might be granted or when the documents could be released.
Now, the Justice Department has asked a court to unseal the search warrant the FBI received before searching the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, Garland said Thursday.
Before Garland's remarks, there had been no high-level comment from the Justice Department since federal agents spent most of the day Monday at Trumpโs winter home, reportedly retrieving documents and even opening a safe.
The FBI search was part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence. While Republicans have rallied behind Trump, very few facts about the case have been released publicly.ย
Trump's attorneys have so far declined to release details from the search warrant, and the former president โ who was in New York at the time of the search โ has suggested on social media that agents could have been planting evidence at his home.
A spokesperson for the vacationing President Biden later told reporters that the president was not informed ahead of the search.

๐ฒ๐ฝ Anonymous: They also attacked Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato's capital and Leon. Hah, the president called the events a "protest". Itโs only happening in states that aren't voting in favor of AMLO's Morena movement. The bots on Twitter are saying this is on the opposition, but we know the 2024 election race is off. So it wouldnโt be surprising to see the cartels making move. Also thereโs dozens of national guard/army bases in the bajio area, Guanajuato and they do nothing. I saw UNAM and the Guanajuato university decided to suspend classes because of this crisis. Whatโs amazing is that life just goes on. Anyone reasonable would expect a major strategy to stop the ones who did this. To never allow such terrorism to happen again. But nope, itโs Wednesday, life goes on.
The divisive rethoric of our president of brown vs white people, oppressed vs privileged etc, is the perfect storm for people not giving a fuck about it. I saw a white foreign couple last weekend, they seemed innocent. They are not prepared for this mess.
In Mexico City, whites live in the most expensive areas, the American/European ones are remotely working and people hate them. But the generalized feeling is that theyโre the worst and must leave. It's always the same terms, White privilege, Gentrification, Segregation. They just absolutely hate Americans, Europeans, White/Whiter Mexicans.
They say: โNormalize treating gringos and Europeans who clearly are living here EXTREMELY BAD, insult them, donโt answer to them, etc. people who put Latinos in cages and come here to raise our rentsโ
This hatred towards a lot of things is spreading so fast and so quickly, itโs getting to the point where people hate anyone whoโs whiter because yea that means youโre also doing all that was just mentioned.
Itโs getting extremely out of hand, just one month ago a guy threw a rock against a โprivileged familyโ here in the city and almost killed the kid. Why? Because they were a white family having breakfast at a terrace, that was it. And thatโs the incredible thing, the society is swallowing every bit of all this hatred and making it of itโs own. People pay WAAAYYY more attention to that than to cartel violence, general mismanagement crisis stuff. I had to get used to people saying right at my face (from probably 2020 til now) things like โI fucking hate white peopleโ, โwhites suckโ, Whites are horrible etc.
Even one compulsory conference I had to go to speaking of LGBTQ+ stuff that was literally all about how โwe must stop white gays from being everywhere and taking, they have to shut up, sit down and stop doing anything considered gay because it doesnโt belong to themโ. This intense hatred is real, my brother also recently went through something like that. He went to a friend's birthday celebration and the friend's family questioned why he hangs out with white people.
There are already constant reactions by white Mexicans demanding an end to discrimination and everyone just laughs. โAre you saying inverse racism exists?โ, โShut up you privileged, itโs not racism when a brown says it to a whiteโ โwhitexican is not discrimination, itโs just saying what you areโ, โThe whiteness in these privileged people thinking theyโre being discriminatedโ, Things like that etc.
The hatred, division and anger is deepening FAST, itโs very serious. I donโt know where is this gonna end, probably with white people protecting themselves because this treatment and harrassment won't stop.

On Tuesday evening, shootings began in the municipalities, and part of the streets were blocked by burning cars. Later, explosions began. The explosions were later determined to have occurred at 11 OXXO stores, as well as a pharmacy and gas station in Guadalajara.
In Zapopan, not only cars were set on fire, but also public transport.
The Governor of Jalisco assures that he "keeps the situation under control." Whom and for what he actually holds science, in truth, is unknown, because the people on the ground are talking about clashes between the two groups, as well as the security forces. As for the victims, silence so far.

Teachers union promotes hiding students' gender preferences from parents
WASHINGTON (TND) โย A national teachers union is promoting a "pronoun card" tool for students to indicate whether they want their school to hide their gender identity from their parents.
On the pronoun card, known as a โStudent Introduction Card,โ is a question asking students whether they wish for school staff to hide their potentially new gender identity from their parents.
The idea was the brainchild of Stephanie Salem, a high school English teacher in suburban Chicago and member of the North Suburban Teachers Union โ an affiliate of the second largest teachers union in the nation, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
Salemโs pronoun placard idea was shared in a blog post titledย โWhy Are Pronouns Important at School?โย on the AFTโs Share My Lessonย website, a place for teachers to share their lesson plans for other instructors around the country.
The idea is not entirely new. Last week, The National Desk (TND) reported on a Chicago-area high school teacher who explained in a video on social media that he would implement a similar placard idea to aid students in sharing their preferred pronouns.
โThis year I created these survey cards that ask students their pronouns, if theyโre comfortable with me using those pronouns in front of their peers, and definitely if theyโre comfortable with me using those pronouns with their parents and families,โ the Chicago Public Schools teacher explained, holding up the small survey cards.
In another example, proving how frequent the concealment of students' gender identities has become, emails obtained byย Fox Newsย showed a school counselor from a middle school in Pennsylvania instructing a teacher to use a studentโs pronouns that correspond with their biological gender when communicating with their parents, rather than the new โthey/themโ pronouns the student said they preferred.

Rhine water levels at Kaub will soon make it impassable for barges carrying coal and gas imports
Germanyโs Rhine riverย will become impassable for barges carrying coal, oil and gas later this week, in a devastating blow to factories upriver.
Levels at Kaub, a key point along the waterway west of Frankfurt, are predicted to fall to below 40cm on Friday, according to the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration.
It is a vital supply line for several major companies, providing transit and plentiful water for engine cooling. A typical barge has the same capacity as more than 100 lorries. Rental rates for the vessels have soared as navigation becomes more difficult.

๐บ๐ฆ ๐ Ukrainian promises on African grain not being kept โย NYT
None of the grain ships that have departed from Ukrainian ports as of Tuesday were headed for African countries most at risk of starvation, according to the New York Times. The first ship to leave via the โgrain corridorโ arrangement saw its cargo rejected by the buyers in Lebanon, who cited the delivery delay.
However, most of the 20 million tons of grain held up in Ukrainian ports for the past several months is animal feed, and not intended for human consumption, according to experts quoted by AP.ย
Ukraine accounts for about 5% of the worldโs grain exports, while Russiaโs share is four times larger. Kiev accused Russia of โblockadingโ its ports, while Moscow argued that it was the Ukrainian military that mined the sea lanes.
Eventually, the UN and Turkey mediated a deal to arrange safe passage for ships using Ukrainian ports. Outbound vessels are inspected to ensure they are carrying grain, fertilizer and food, while incoming ships are checked for weapons.
The deal was also supposed to address Western sanctions against Russian shipping, which effectively prevent Moscow from delivering food, fertilizer and other goods to customers in Africa and South America. In an op-ed published last month in several major African outlets, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov vowed that Moscow was โtaking all measuresโ to ensure the delivery of contractually promised supplies.

๐จ๐ณโ๐น๐ผ โ ๐จ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฐ SCMP: Chinese envoy to France Lu Shaye doubles down on Taiwan โre-educationโ aims
โ "Chinaโs ambassador to France has doubled down on comments that Taiwanese people will need to be โre-educatedโ if the island is reunified with mainland China, drawing fresh criticism from French commentators and politicians.
In an interview with French broadcaster Europe 1 that focused on the fallout from US House Speaker Nancy Pelosiโs controversial visit to Taiwan, Chinese envoy Lu Shaye said re-education would be required because the government in Taipei had โindoctrinated and intoxicatedโ the population with anti-Chinese education.
โWhy do I say โre-educateโ? Because the authorities of Taiwan have made an education of โdesinicisationโ on its population, which is effectively indoctrinated and intoxicated. It must be re-educated to eliminate separatist thought and secessionist theory,โ Lu said.
He claimed that 20 years ago a majority of Taiwanese were pro-reunification, but the islandโs two-term President Tsai Ing-wen, backed up by American support, had poisoned the popular mood towards Beijing."

Images from the demonstration show personnel operating the robots with a hand controller inside a hangar. The Ghost Robotics Vision 60 Q-UGVs can be equipped with a wide variety of optical and acoustic sensors, enabling them to serve as automated "eyes and ears" around sensitive installations such as a Space Force base. The robots can be operated either autonomously or by a human controller and can even respond to voice commands.
The dog-like robots can also serve as miniaturized communications nodes, carrying antennas to quickly extend networks beyond existing infrastructure or in locations where no such infrastructure exists.

A study by the Cattaneo Institute projects the bloc to elect 245 lawmakers out of 400 in the Chamber of Deputies, and 127 out of 200 in the senate.

The news that the grand jury had declined to charge Donham makes it increasingly unlikely that she will ever be prosecuted for her role in the events that led to Tillโs death.
In an unpublished memoir obtained last month by The Associated Press, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to the 14-year-old Till, who lived in Chicago and was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he was abducted, killed and tossed in a river. She accused him of making lewd comments and grabbing her while she worked alone at a family store in Money, Mississippi.
Donham said in the manuscript that the men brought Till to her in the middle of the night for identification but that she tried to help the youth by denying it was him. Despite being abducted at gunpoint from a family home by Roy Bryant and Milam, the 14-year-old identified himself to the men, she claimed.
Tillโs battered, disfigured body was found days later in a river, where it was weighted down with a heavy metal fan. The decision by his mother, Mamie Till Mobley, to open Tillโs casket for his funeral in Chicago demonstrated the horror of what had happened and added fuel to the civil rights movement.

It took just one weekend for Meta's new AI Chatbot to become racist
The company's new BlenderBot 3 AI chatbot โ which wasย released in the U.S. just days agoย on Friday, August 5 โ is already making a host of false statements based on interactions it had with real humans online. Some of the more egregious among those include claims Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election and is currently president, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, as well as comments calling out Facebook for all of its "fake news." This, despite being owned by the company formerly known as Facebook.
Chatbots learn how to interact by talking with the public, so Meta is encouraging adults to talk with the bot in order to help it learn to have natural conversations about a wide range of topics. But that means the chatbot can also learn misinformation from the public, too. According toย Bloomberg, it described Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as "too creepy and manipulative" in conversation with a reporter from Insider. It told a Wall Street Journal reporter thatย Trump "will always be" presidentย and touted the anti-semitic conspiracy theory that it was "not implausible" that Jewish people control the economy.
This isn't the first time a chatbot has been in hot water. In July,ย Google fired an engineerย for saying its chatbot LaMDA was sentient. LaMDA is probably not sentient, but it is prettyย racist and sexistย โ two undoubtedly human characteristics. And in 2016, a Microsoft chatbot called Tay was taken offline within 48 hours after it started praising Adolf Hitler. (It turns out that Godwin's law โ the idealogical idea that maintains that if any discussion continues long enough on the internet someone will be compared to Hitler โ applies to chatbots, too.)

'Inflation Reduction Act' Would Make IRS Among The Largest Govt Agencies
If Democrats have their way, one of the most detested federal agenciesโthe Internal Revenue Serviceโwill employ more bureaucrats than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act negotiated by Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.),ย the agency would receive $80 billion in funding to hire as many as 87,000 additional employees.ย The increase would more than double the size of the IRS workforce, which currently has 78,661 full-time staffers, according to federal data.
The additional IRS funding is integral to the Democratsโ reconciliation package. A Congressional Budget Office analysis found the hiring of new IRS agents would result in more than $200 billion in additional revenue for the federal government over the next decade. More than half of that funding is specifically earmarked for โenforcement,โ meaning tax audits and other responsibilities such as โdigital asset monitoring.โ

๐บ๐ธ Former President Donald J. Trump said on Monday that the F.B.I. had searched his Palm Beach, Fla., home and had broken open a safe โ an account that, if accurate, would be a dramatic escalation in the various investigations into the former president.
The search, according to two people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, after he left the White House. Those boxes contained many pages of classified documents, according to a person familiar with their contents.
Mr. Trump delayed returning 15 boxes of material requested by officials with the National Archives for many months, only doing so when there became a threat of action being taken to retrieve them.
Mr. Trump was known throughout his term to rip up official material that was intended to be held for government archives.
โThey even broke into my safe!โ he wrote. โWhat is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.โ
Mr. Trump did not share any details about what the F.B.I. agents said they were searching for. But he depicted himself as a victim of shadowy forces seeking to damage him.
The search took place on Monday morning, a person familiar with it said, although Mr. Trump claimed agents were still there many hours later.
The search was at least in part for whether any records remained at the club, the person familiar with the search said.
The reported search came at a time when the Justice Department has also been stepping up questioning of former Trump aides who had been witnesses to discussion and planning in the White House of Mr. Trumpโs efforts to remain in office after his loss in the 2020 election.
Mr. Trump has been the focus of questions asked by federal prosecutors in connection with a scheme to send โfakeโ electors to Congress for the certification of the Electoral College.

SITUATION
1. The situation in the Republic of South Africa is gradually deteriorating into unrest due to criminality that is taking place within the borders. This is also exacerbated by a perceived lack of action from the security forces to combat criminality.
2. It is foreseen that the SANDF might be called to play their secondary role and in this case, it will be to support or cooperate with the South African Police Services. It is in this regard that the SA Army Infantry Formation has been ordered to go on 25-hour standby in anticipation of deploying in support or cooperation with the SAPS.

South Africa Puts Soldiers on Standby Over Crime, Timeslive Says โ Bloomberg
South Africaโs army put 200 soldiers on standby in case theyโre needed to help deal with increasing incidents of unrest and violence linked to crime, Timeslive reported.
The instruction was issued after a military command council meeting last week, when generals were warned to be on high alert, the Johannesburg-based news website said, citing an Aug. 6 order by Major-General Patrick Dube, general officer commanding the armyโs infantry formation. Any deployment would be in cooperation with the South African Police Service, it said.
One company of soldiers is always on standby in every South African province for possible deployment in an emergency, Timeslive said. The order is for an additional company to be ready.

๐บ๐ธ Biden leaves White House for 1st time since getting COVID-19
The president tested negative Saturday and Sunday, according to his doctor, clearing the way for him to emerge from an isolation that lasted longer than expected because of a rebound case of the virus.
After isolating for several days, Biden tested negative on July 26 and July 27, when he gave a speech in the Rose Garden, telling Americans they can "live without fear" of the virus if they get booster shots, test themselves for the virus if they become sick and seek out treatments.
But Biden caught a rare rebound case of COVID-19 on July 30, forcing him to isolate again. He occasionally gave speeches from a White House balcony, such as when he marked the killing of an al-Qaida leader or a strong jobs report.

๐น๐ผ ๐จ๐ณ Taiwan accuses Beijing of simulating invasion as US-China relations nosedive
Taiwan accused the Chinese army of simulating an attack on its main island Saturday, as Beijing continued its retaliation for US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taipei visit.
Beijing maintained some of its largest-ever military drills around Taiwan on Saturday -- exercises aimed at practising a blockade and ultimate invasion of the island, analysts say.
"They were judged to be conducting a simulation of an attack on Taiwan's main island," the island's defence ministry said.
Beijing said it would also hold a live-fire drill in a southern part of the Yellow Sea -- located between China and the Korean peninsula --ย from Saturday until August 15.
John Culver, a former CIA Asia analyst, said in a discussion hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies that Beijing's main purpose with its military exercises was to establish a "new normal".

๐บ๐ธ โข This Tiny Modular Nuclear Reactor Just Got the Green Light From U.S. Regulators
Eleven countries are already interested in setting up NuScale power plants.
๐ต The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has awarded approval to nuclear leader NuScale for its small, modular reactor design.
๐ต These reactors will be built offsite and installed onsite at nontraditionally small nuclear plants.
๐ต The energy industry faces huge challenges before it can decarbonize.
In a major step forward for the burgeoning modular nuclear reactor movement, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved all but the final formalities on a tiny reactor design put forth by industry leader NuScale. The July 29 announcement comes after six years of steady work toward regulatory approval.
The combination of small and modular is new for nuclear energy. Decades ago, the first nuclear plants were small because that was simply the limit of the emerging technology at the time. Modular design concepts were in the mix back then because, honestly, what wasnโt in the mix? There were even nuclear-powered concepts for family sedans as far back as the 1950s.

๐บ๐ธ ๐น๐ผ U.S. firms eye Taiwan exit on Chinese invasion risk
U.S. companies with Taiwan-based operations are panickingย about the impact of possible Chinese military aggression toward the self-governing island.
Fortune 500 companies and small and medium enterprises alike are seeking the advice of corporate security experts to develop contingency plans to protect staff and assets if conflict erupts across the Taiwan Strait. The corporate nightmare: that a war could result in the loss orย seizure of assetsย in Taiwan.
โI have seven fortune 500 companies asking me to pre-plan and build an outline of triggers for them to start moving people, infrastructure, and assets [outside of Taiwan]. That's real. It's happening,โ saidย DALE BUCKNER, chief executive officer of international security firm Global Guardian. โThere are some companies that are taking this very seriously [because] they don't want to happen what just happened in Russia where they lost billions of dollarsโ worth of assets, both financial and hard, so they are already looking to disperse people and assets [to other countries.โ
Ukraine invasion feeds fears.ย Buckner wouldnโt reveal the names of those companies due to contractual restrictions. But he says that corporate interest in such contingency planning has surged in the wake of Russiaโs Ukraine invasion.
Slow motion exodus.ย U.S. companies in Taiwan are taking proactive measures to insulate themselves from that risk by beginning the process of relocating infrastructure โ including production facilities โ and personnel to safer locations in the region.

๐บ๐ธ ๐ท๐บ NASA game planned contingencies for space station as Russian alliance continued
NASA and the White House have since late last year quietly drawn up contingency plans for the International Space Station in light of tensions with Moscow that began building before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to nine people with knowledge of the plans.
The U.S. space agency's game planning shows how the U.S. is juggling its relationship with Russia, a crucial ally on the international space station project, which also involves such corporate names as Boeing(BA.N), SpaceX and Northrup Grumman(NOC.N).
At risk is a two-decade old alliance NASA has sought to preserve as one of the few remaining links of civil cooperation between the two superpowers.
The plans drafted by U.S. officials laid out ways to pull all astronauts off the station if Russia were to abruptly leave, keep it running without crucial hardware provided by the Russian space agency, and potentially dispose of the orbital laboratory years earlier than planned, according to three of the sources, all of whom asked not to be identified.
Russian news agencies last week quoted the newly appointed space chief, Yuri Borisov, saying the country had no set date for its withdrawal from the ISS but any pullout would be made "in strict accordance with our obligations." The station's intergovernmental agreement requires any partner to give a one-year notice of intent to leave.
NASA's contingency planning with the White House began in late 2021 as U.S. relations with Russia deteriorated, four U.S. officials said.

๐จ๐ณ ๐ China's Belt And Road Grapples With Mounting Debt Crisis, Impacting Central Asia, Pakistan, And Beyond
๐ด "We must always remember the need to pay [our] public debt," Akylbek Japarov, the chairman of Kyrgyzstan's cabinet of ministers
๐ด Loans issued in recent years are turning bad at an unprecedented rate, with research by Rhodium Group, a New York-based research consultancy, showing that the value of Chinese loans that required negotiation soared to $52 billion in 2020 and 2021, a threefold increase from the previous two years.
๐ด In the face of such pressures, Beijing has begun to issue so-called "rescue loans" to starve off defaults, with AidData showing that tens of billions of dollars have been issued by Chinese state institutions to countries such as Pakistan, Belarus, Egypt, Mongolia, Turkey, and Sri Lanka, to help service their loans and avoid default.
๐ด "We are at a major pivot point right now. The scale of this widespread debt pressure is something that China has never faced before and it is having to reinvent BRI on the fly," Matthew Mingey, senior research analyst at Rhodium Group, told RFE/RL.
๐ด A July report from the Green Finance and Development Center showed how the BRI is becoming more risk-averse, with new investment in Russia, once a mainstay of the initiative, falling to zero in the first half of 2022, while engagement in Pakistan dropped by 56 percent during the same period.
๐ด In the case of Pakistan, the country of 220 million people is the biggest single recipient of BRI financing worldwide and hosts the $62 billion collection of infrastructure projects known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
โก ๐ด Pakistani Finance Minister Miftah Ismail told Bloomberg on August 1 that progress had been made on the loan, which could stave off a default, but analysts say Islamabad's finances remain strained, and Mingey said that Pakistan is still a leading "domino to fall" after Sri Lanka amid the debt crisis and possibility of further defaults.

Anon: We need a logistics vehicle designed for island hopping in the Pacific. Ekranoplanes are extremely efficient because of ground effect. Better than a helicopter, more versatile than a fixed wing. Pure ekranoplanes suffer because they can't cope with bad water conditions, but the liberty lifter should be able to fly at a reasonable altitude like a regular plane. The downward facing dihedrals are textbook GEV as well. But contested landings will never be attempted again, it's simply not possible. Initial beachheads will probably be taken by IFV's and traditional amphibious vehicles etc. This is to bring in everything to hold the beach/island. But the US will inevitably flatten anything 20km inland of a beach we want to walk on.

Anon: Big push for seaplanes and ground effect stuff lately. Ground effect might be the new counter for hypersonics. Ground effect vastly outperforms lift, but can only go like 2x as high as wingspan before it's just lift.
Russians did this once (see: Caspian Sea Monster), but the lifter is more for cargo than beach assaults. It's just one of those things that's only useful for island ocean and coastal ops, so no one really cared to do anything with it until now. Japan is really the only one with seaplane experiance so the US is going to be leaning into them for guidance

๐บ๐ธ ๐น๐ผ โ ๐จ๐ณ As Pelosi visits Taiwan, donโt miss the action on China in Congress
๐ต All eyes are understandably on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosiโs trip to Taiwan this week as Beijing issues threats and rattles its saber. But those interested in supporting the free people of Taiwan and pushing back on increasingly aggressive behavior from Beijing should not miss an important legislative development unfolding simultaneously on Capitol Hill.
โก ๐ต The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is meeting Aug. 3 to consider S.4428, the Taiwan Policy Act of 2022, a bill introduced by committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. In a joint press release, their offices describe the legislation as โthe most comprehensive restructuring of U.S. policy towards Taiwan since the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979.โ As Menendez and Graham rightly note in their bill, the โsecurity of Taiwan and the ability for the people of Taiwan to determine their own future is fundamental to United States interests and values.โ
๐ต Chinese warplanes reportedly made 969 incursions into Taiwanโs air defense identification zone in 2021, more than double the previous yearโs total. In one day alone last year, Beijing sent 56 aircraft into Taiwanโs ADIZ. If Washington and Taipei permit the balance of power in the Taiwan Strait to continue to erode, Beijing may decide in the next few years that it can accomplish its political objectives on the island with military force. In fact, Adm. Philip Davidson, then the top U.S. military officer in the Indo-Pacific, warned in March 2021 that Beijing could conduct military aggression toward Taiwan โin the next six years.โ
๐ต The Menendez-Graham bill, however, is particularly noteworthy because Menendez is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. As the Aug. 3 markup may demonstrate, he enjoys disproportionate power to obtain committee approval and advance the bill to the full Senate for consideration.
๐ต If the bill is passed by the committee, Menendez will either seek to have it considered as a stand-alone bill on the floor or try to include it in the National Defense Authorization Act. Both approaches entail certain challenges, but the latter may be difficult if the bill passed by the committee includes the sanctions language, especially if it is not amended from its current formulation.

๐น๐ผ โ ๐จ๐ณ Chip stocks slip as Taiwan tensions mount
Aug 2 (Reuters) - Semiconductor stocks fell globally on Tuesday as an expected visit by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan fueled a fresh escalation in tensions between Washington and Beijing.
China views the visit by Pelosi, a long-time critic of Beijing, as sending an encouraging signal to the pro-independence camp in Taiwan and has repeatedly warned against it.ย read more
Taiwan is home to the world's biggest contract manufacturer of semiconductors, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC)ย (2330.TW), and peer United Microelectronics Corp (UMC)ย (2303.TW). Shares of the companies fell 2.4% and 3%, respectively.ย

๐บ๐ธ ๐น๐ผ Pelosis sold $5M in Nvidia stock ahead of vote on chipmaker subsidies
๐ต The dumping of Nvidia shares before a visit to Taiwan while a US carrier group sails into theย South China Sea has trouble written all over it. Should any conflict break out between China and Taiwan, the world will be introduced to a whole new meaning of semiconductor shortage.ย
๐ต Recently, Nancy Pelosi published information that her husband had exercised a stock option by sellingย 25,000 Nvidia shares resulting in a calculated loss of $342,365. The reason for this announcement comes from the legal obligation of members of congress to announce all dealings with stocks and trades to the public within 45 days of executing the trade in an effort to prevent insider trading. But while many media sites are rushing to dispel rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding the trade, there could be genuine cause for concern if one looks at the CHIPS act and Nancy Pelosiโs plans to visit Taiwan.
๐ต To start, the CHIPS act is being headed by Nancy Pelosi who will undoubtedly have insiderย knowledge on the development of the act, its full intentions, and how it could be expanded in the future. This puts Nancy Pelosi in an unusually powerful position to exercise trades on semiconductor companies that would maximise profit long term. Of course, this would be insider trading, and no politician has ever done such a thing.
๐ต While this act may be great for some manufacturers (such as Intel, Texas Instruments, and Micron ย Technologies),ย it presents serious challenges to those who manufacture outside of the US. Of course, non-US companies shouldnโt benefit from the CHIPS act, but it is expected that fabless companies will also suffer (such as Xilinx, Nvidia, and AMD), as they rely on third-party foundries often located in China and Taiwan.ย
๐ต But while theย shortage of semiconductors has seen manufacturing difficultiesย and a rise in the cost of living, the world has also been woken up to the fact that semiconductors, just like oil, are the blood of any modern nation. To make matters worse, it has also come to attention that the most important semiconductors are manufactured in just a few places around the world with many of them in Taiwan. Considering that China has made bolder moves to demonstrate its willingness to take back Taiwan, it is possible that the entirety of western technology becomes dependent on one of its biggest economic oppositions.
โก๐ต Finally, Nancy Pelosiย has recently signalled her intention to visit Taiwanย to show her support, but China has indicated that it would not tolerate such a move. If China is antagonised too much it could prompt China to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan. Now, it is likely that during this time the share prices ofย Taiwanese foundries to fall, and this would see the share prices of companies such as Nvidia also fall. In that moment, Nvidia shares could be purchased at an all-time low, and then Nancy Pelosi could launch a diplomatic mission to improve ties between China and Taiwan. If successful, the share prices of those foundries would shoot up, and this would result in large gains.

๐บ๐ธ ๐น๐ผ US Congress has passed the CHIPS and Science act. The package, worth $280 billion, includes $52 billion in subsidies to entice companies to manufacture semiconductors in the United States. It also includes a whopping $200 billion for research into cutting edge scientific fields, including quantum computing, AI, and robotics.ย
The bill passed with bipartisan support in the Senate with a vote of 64 to 33, and was approved by the House with a vote of 243 to 187. Its ultimate goal is to restore American technological leadership, not just for commercial reasons, but also broader strategic reasons including reduced reliance on manufacturing in Asia.ย
Make no mistake, advanced chipmaking technology is an arms race. The US maintains an advantage over China when it comes to chip-making technology, and this bill aims to keep it that way. Military applications will be at the forefront of the US government's mind. Things like missiles, drones, signal intelligence and communications all rely on advanced chipmaking tech, and countries obviously want to keep their tech secrets in-house.
Two companies with US-based facilities include Intel and Micron. Micron previously announced plans to invest $150 billion into US-based research, development, and manufacturing. It's been lobbying Congress to pass the bill so it can forge ahead with its plans.
Semiconductor supply issues look set to remain, especially if relations between China and Taiwan deteriorate further. A halt in Taiwanese manufacturing would be catastrophic for the world economy. In the years ahead, more diverse manufacturing with more capacity should alleviate these issues. The likes of Samsung and TSMC are also building new facilities around the world, including in the US.
The CHIPS act won't change the status quo overnight but it's an important step on the path to a more diverse global semiconductor industry. TSMC might make some good chips, but strategically it's in an untenable position. Will the CHIPS act help to reduce reliance on Asia-based manufacturing? Or is it little more than a corporate handout? Only time will tell.

The U.S. never left Afghanistan, they just went Over The Horizon. Fly out of X base, longer flight time but still stare holes at same target they did last year. Same as in africa, they just get target packets. Search and destroy move to next packet. Over the horizon has been used for awhile it's just more dramatic than normal here with Afghanistan.
Basically, if they aren't somewhere officially they will still strike it. That's sort of what MALET & HALE are for.

But with China threatening to take "actions" to counter the visit, tensions in East Asia have quickly escalated, perhaps against the will of both U.S. President Joe Biden, who was seeking to remove some tariffs on Chinese goods to counter inflation, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who faces a sensitive political season at home with his rule extension on the line."
